BAKERY giant Greggs wants to transform the former Boots shop on Aberdeen’s Union Street into a new branch.
The firm has lodged plans to set-up a new outlet at a unit just along from the Trinity Centre, and beneath Travelodge, with Aberdeen City Council.

The outlet would be directly across from he revamped Union Terrace Gardens and is the latest in a number of proposals to repopulate central Union Street, between Market Street and Bridge Street.
However, the plans will mean the relocation of the branch within the Trinity Centre, just yards away from the closed Boots.
A Greggs spokeswoman commented: “Our current shop in the Trinity Centre will be closing and all staff will be relocated to either the new shop or another shop in Aberdeen city centre.”
The move would be another blow for the centre that recently lost Debenhams and faces an uncertain future.
Property investment firm Sheridan Keane Real Estate Investment has been marketing the Trinity Centre on its website since September, and it’s now listed as “under offer”.
